Recommend: Yes, with reservations. It has been quite a while since I read Amy Tan's first three books and this fourth one did fall short of my expectations. Amy Tan fans will enjoy but if you haven't read Tan before I do not recommend this as your first read, try The Joy Luck Club or The Hundred Secret Senses instead.

I've seen this book around and the cover looks very appealing. I tried Joy Luck Club when I was younger (maybe even still in high school), and couldn't finish it (odd for me). Hmmm...
